		<p>I suppose the implication from the title, is that "A-" school student fare better:<br />
<br />
  * "5 Entrepreneurship Basics B-Schools Don&#039;t Teach"<br />
<br />
Actually not really.  The skills are &#039;for free&#039; -- What changes is a predisposition im &#039;me&#039; or &#039;him&#039; / &#039;her&#039; to be a total arsehole.<br />
<br />
Any actor can tell you "how [he | she ] made it happen for her (and any &#039;him&#039;-s).<br />
<br />
The trick, the MONEY, the Quality of LIFE, ... comes at a price.</p>

Do we trust a committee to simplify government?  I&#039;m not saying it will do more than moving a decimal point or replacing one rule with a different one.

This is interactive marketing week for me.  The main reason I like this blog is personal, here we have a man who may have reset my research agenda into sensemaking and knowledge management in business (marketing).  As an aside, I&#039;m going to need to assert my position that in the 21st century, there is "no longer such a thing as <i>marketing</i>" ... [[please, watch this space]].  <br />
<br />
Back to Matt -- It isnt actually about text and pictures.  What about music, audio and poscasts?  I know that we&#039;ll have access to some very cool NEW new media not too soon also -- Will you know what ones are useful or relaible, or plain ol&#039; <i>not gay?  Will Yahoo or Google?  How?  The hunt continues ... <a rel="nofollow" href="http://mbimarketing.wordpress.com" target="_blank"><em><b>Your</b> future </em><b>is</b><em> incredible ...

Fellow stumbler also blogs on e-marketing and e-media.  For you Gen-X and Baby Boomers, like me, Erica is also a look-see at those mystical creatures on the other side of the generational change.  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://mbimarketing.wordpress.com" target="_blank"><em>Make your future incredible ...

"<i><b>Came up empty? That&#039;s what I thought. Palo Alto, we&#039;ve got a problem.</b></i><br />
<br />
"<i>Actually, <b>Palo Alto may be the problem</b>. Fifteen years old, a vital component of the marketing landscape by any calculation, interactive advertising is still characterized in the public eye and practitioners&#039; minds by its technical sleight-of-hand instead of its narrative and emotive power. This has led our industry to a creative crisis that, if not resolved, will almost certainly impede our -- and our customers&#039; -- growth.</i>" ... [emphasis added]</p>
